No more profiteering. Don’t hand private companies a monopoly.

Matthew Tiller, London

I am absolutely disgusted as these corporations have left the average Joe to suffer ridiculous rates.

Nadir Khan, London

Bring the railways back under state control and provide a better service to passengers.

Ian Roberts, Telford

I would love to see British Rail again.

Margaret Watson, Glasgow

Their profligate greed is bringing this country to a standstill. A service should be just that and all profits made should be driven back into making services better.

Joe Sims, Bristol

Bring the railways back into our hands and let our economy benefit.

David Roberts, Scarborough

We want lower prices for poor people.

Martin Chadwick, Wrexham

You’d do better supporting the Green Party than Labour if you want this to happen.

Elizabeth Timms, St Neots

I fully support this petition.

Kevin Rouse, Luton

Passengers crammed in between Bolton and Manchester is inhumane. They promise longer trains but it never happens. Another year of hell and profits soaring for Trans Pennine

Marina Matosic, Bolton

British Rail belonged to us before the sell-off and privatisation but we want it back nationalised and belonging to us again.

Julia Inch, Enfield

They are ripping us off.

Sheepa Ahmed, London

UK trains are a shambles compared to the rest of Europe.

Akit, London

Train tickets now include profit for shareholders. Re-nationalising will reduce the cost of travel or the money could be used to improve services. (Not HS2 though.)

Rachel Bourne, Newport Pagnell

Admit defeat and put it back together.

June Finnie, Glasgow

Please do it now. You must know it makes sense.

Jill Green, Oxford

put it all back in public ownership so it is run for the people by the people.

Stephen Hopkins, Swansea

Solidarity.

Adam F, Nottingham

It’s completely obvious that railway privatisation is a failure. The only train journey I have enjoyed was on an East Coast train, when it was run by the government.

Clare Annand, Dunstable

The train service should be more integrated and more affordable, if they want people to use public transport.

Caitlin Burns, Leamington Spa

As a lifelong campaigner for social justice and the environment, my wife and I believe strongly that the railways should be re-nationalised, along with all public services.

Pete and Nikki Perry, Stevenage

British Railways ran an excellent, reliable train service. These private companies are useless. It’s typical Tory policy to mess everything up. BBBR.

Myleene Klass, London

Railway privatisation is proof of the saying ‘bullshit baffles brains’. Lies and propaganda from the railway industry crooks are not acceptable any more.

Alan Bond, Watchet

Why so damned complicated and why so out of touch with normal pricing structures?

Nick Cotton, Shrewsbury

The only way to ensure that rail travellers are given a fair deal in terms of ticket prices is for the railways to be taken back into public hands.

Ed Kent, Cardiff

We need all our public services to be nationalised. Let’s start with the railways.

Stella Thomas, Hebden Bridge

I’m sick of paying a ridiculous amount just to travel. I pay taxes and I feel absolutely robbed every time I’m forced to take the train,

Martin Rayment, Loughborough

The people of the British Isles require a nationalised rail service which brings affordable transport to its people.

Johnny Gomes, Sudbury

The figures speak for themselves..

Robert Cartwright, Alton
